The organization of corporate wikis tends to deteriorate as time goes by. Rearranging categories, structuring articles and even moving sections among articles are cumbersome tasks in current wiki engines. This discourages the layman. But, it is the layman who writes the articles, knows the wiki content, and detects refactoring opportunities. Our goal is to improve the refactoring a ordances of ...

BACKGROUND A learning strategy underutilized in medical education is mind mapping. Mind maps are multi-sensory tools that may help medical students organize, integrate, and retain information. Recent work suggests that using mind mapping as a note-taking strategy facilitates critical thinking. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a relationship existed between mind mapping and c...

Collaborative learning is a set of various approaches in education that involve joint intellectual effort by students or students and teachers. It opposed to the traditional 'direct transmission' model, in which learners are assumed to be passive, receptive, isolated receivers of knowledge and skills delivered by an external source. Today Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) is acti...

The purpose of this study is to focus on the indicators related motivation in Work Mind, and organize concepts by Pile Sort experiments using sentences question items that compose each indicator. By polymerizing personal conceptual system Self-Organizing Map, map Mind with some degree completeness generality drawn. It expected will be a material for getting general picture treated as ruler when...

Materials and Methods: This cross sectional comparative study was carried out among dental undergraduates in their final year (n=45). Students were divided into lecture based learning (LBL) and mind mapping (MM) group. Three sessions were taken for both groups. The first session was followed by the MM group being taught about mind mapping, its principles, construction of mind map. LBL group aft...

There are kinds of picture that are drawn with multiple viewpoints. Mountain guide maps, cubism pictures and medical-diagnosis drawings are examples of such pictures. So far, however, they have been drawn intuitively by hand. Implementing a CAD system for such pictures requires clear modelling of their drawing processes. As a case study, the paper presents mountain guide-map modelling using man...

This paper discusses the mathematical framework for designing methods of large deformation matching (LDM) for image registration in computational anatomy. After reviewing the geometrical framework of LDM image registration methods, a theorem is proved showing that these methods may be designed by using the actions of diffeomorphisms on the image data structure to define their associated momentu...
